Do you need to avoid food for otitis media?

Otitis media, there is no absolute contraindication in terms of diet, but it is generally recommended that patients avoid spicy and irritating food, so as not to cause irritation to the lesion, resulting in aggravation of the condition. Otitis media is a common clinical otolaryngology disease that produces inflammatory lesions in some or all of the structures of the middle ear, and can be divided into two different types: purulent otitis media and non-purulent otitis media. Although there is no clear scientific evidence to show that otitis media patients absolutely can not eat a certain type of food, it is generally recommended that otitis media should pay attention to dietary care, to ensure that light and nutritional balance, avoid spicy and irritating food, because such food may trigger the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract to increase secretion, mucous membrane swelling and aggravate the symptoms. Specialized medical advice should be sought if special foods other than common foods are required.
